Move to the Beat on a Jamaica Vacation

<h1>Move to the Beat on a Jamaica Vacation</h1>Author: <a title="C.L. Hendricks" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/c.l.-hendricks/64342.htm">C.L. Hendricks</a> When you're thinking about where to go for your next relaxing getaway with the kids, think about a Jamaica family vacation. Jamaica is such a beautiful island, and it's not just for adults, as there are at least 5 kid-friendly resorts we can recommend.

Negril, which is on the famed 7-mile beach, also has the game garage and pirate’s island, but it also has a Sesame Street-themed Caribbean adventure.
